I'm so relieved.

The legal situation of copyrighted works is one of incredible contention.

It's even worse when it turns out the fictional is alive.

Holy hell..I thought this was going to be a funny little read,,,but that end was a bit dark!I want more NOW!NOOOOOW!:pinkiegasp::pinkiecrazy:

Let me clear my voice first. *le clearing of ze voice*
Brilliant... Just brilliant.
The story is hilarious. It's a nice and welcome spin on the entire Human in Equestria idea and fuck I would never be able to come up something like this.

Well, haven't seen something quite like this before. I really do think the government would manage to mess up communications so badly that they would end up just invading, taking whatever they want, and spinning the ponies to be the enemy.

Great story, I would love to see a sequel if only because the setting here interests me greatly.

That was perfect just perfect. I would love to see a sequel.

Jonathan Pertree/Pertwee? I see what you did there.:trollestia:

This sounds just about what I'd expect it to be like. :twilightangry2:

UFO'S ARE REAL, IT'S THE GOVERNMENT THAT DOEST'T EXIST. :twilightsmile:

I wanna see this extend to other realities more

Pretty good!

“However, they've [Hasbro] requested rights to market the ponies themselves as merchandise, which opens up an entire legal can of worms about the rights of fictionals vis-a-vis what is essentially slavery.”

holy sweet mother of I don'tknowwhat, but that's scary

Aside from the obvious IQ dump the human population would have to have gone under to make this believable it is still somewhat amusing.

I find this VERY intriguing. Continue.

One word: duck...you figure it out...

It's a bit unfortunate that this is complete, but for what it was, I thought it was great.

Interesting concept. It brings to mind something I read a while back, where Lauren Faust was a reality-jumper of sorts who traveled through various animated worlds and had the likes of Goku and Bugs Bunny as allies. This story has a bit more of a chill to the spine about it, though, and might just be a little more accurate in depicting United States policy (and corporate exploitation) than I'd like. :twilightoops:

I certainly wouldn't mind reading a more expansive take on this concept.

BRONIES, PEGASISTERS, RISE IN REVOLUTION AND FREE THE PONIES!:flutterrage:

The premise you've laid out here is very interesting. I look forward to reading more.

I'd love to see the political and societal evolution of this issue. The entire world debating the technical terms of what 'fictional' means or what's 'real'. People writing music and creating their own fictional stories representing their views on the issue, eventually leading to worlds of their own that their respective creators don't know what to do with. You can be sure that people all over the internet will work for the rights of their beloved icons, especially people like those who support The Pirate Bay or maybe even Anonymous.

Jesus, how will Japan handle their shit? Especially Gainax? That Dai-Gurren-Dan don't take too kindly to having their rights restrained.

“I'm sorry,” he said, “but it's not like you're real.”

I wonder if Pertree would have the balls to tell that to Cthulhu or Pennywise.

On a scale of 1 to Intriguing, this scores a solid "this is so chilling that I'm glad it's not real". Just like Celestia.

A very interesting idea. I liked that Pertree (very clever) said that he was more real than Celestia, because it opens up the idea of fictions within fictions and the relative strength/stability of fictional realities. Very, very fun to think about.

just this:

Despite it happening a long, long time ago, a galaxy far, far away was still under a travel advisory.

While many eyes easily roll over this and fill in the all too familiar blanks here, there are indeed blanks here. You need "in" before "a galaxy and I think you want "it" before "was still under a travel advisory"

Dibs on rainbow dash.... lol....

I'm all for having a pet talking pony...

So, do you condone slavery of sapient beings?

The implications for metafiction are alarming. The protagonists of Princess Tutu outwitted and defeated their in-universe author and creator--they could be just as big a threat to their creators in this universe. (And even if it's impossible for fictional beings to harm nonfictional ones, I know a certain show whose protagonists regularly go beyond the impossible.)

I'd be interested in seeing a long serious take on this subject, but the only good way to elongate a comedic one would be to throw in as much social satire as the story could possibly handle. Satire doesn't seem to be the goal here, so I'm happy with this at its current length.

3986944 No, the phrasing is grammatically correct as written. It happened a long time ago, so the galaxy far far away is under a travel advisory. Your phrasing technically works too (it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, so that galaxy is under a travel advisory), but it's clunky and doesn't work as well.

Cue the inception music. :eeyup:

Originally came here from the Descartes reference, which I'm surprised no one has seemed to point out yet :rainbowhuh:, but read it and thought it was pretty good! :pinkiesmile:

3986992 Only ponies. They are too adorable for their own sakes.

3985891
Screw that, I want to see the ponies enslaved just for the sake of seeing all the brony rage.

Unfortunately for the US government, along with you, me, and the rest of us, we're all human fanfic written by Lyra. :pinkiecrazy:

3988082 ... Thank you for causing me that small existential crisis.

An intriguing, yet highly chilling story. This would no doubt bring many to fight for the right for the freedom of "fictional" beings. If our own universe is a simulation, I don't think it makes any of us much less real.

The ability of these "fictional" universes to affect that the one that created them intrigues me further. Is Celestia really completely powerless in all this? What about the abilities of other sub-universes? I can only think of one universe off the top of my head that has delved into this sort of thing, and their reaction was not pleasant.

This was an interesting read and I want MOREEE!!!!!!.:pinkiecrazy:

I would like to see a sequel or another like this it is a very interesting idea.

3988275 Glad to be of service! After all, you don't really appreciate your existence until you've gone existential.

And this is why little to no HIE stories involve the government :derpytongue2:

Holy shit

No wonder I fap so much then.

3987534 There will be rage. IF THEY SO MUCH AS TOUCH ONE HAIR ON DASHIE'S HEAD, CELESTIA HELP ME...

Just got a saddening image of Fluttershy locked in a cage and being sold..:fluttercry:

3989119 I'll take her! Right after I get Rainbow Dash and break her in....

3989103
I will shave her and touch her butt against her will.

Superman, Artemis Fowl, Ozymandias, and Leonidas...

ATTACK!

What are you, two? Is the word "butt" too hardcore for you? Seriously, a world where the word "butt" is anything but PG is a world where we should just put helmets on the heads of our children and wrap their limbs in bubble wrap. Make sure to put their food in a blender so they can eat it with a spoon, because forks are too dangerous.

Most intriguing. I've always believed that Multiverse Theory is as likely as it isn't, so it's nice to see that being exploited.

Something tells me that after a few decades, there'd be enough people arguing that beings from formerly fictional realities deserve equal rights. It's just the way things go.

I like this! Another!

3989569 Prepare the sex dungeon!

Dude needs to go to a solipsism seminar.

Solid writing, solid concept, Celestia's character was... mediocre, but otherwise a fun, interesting read.

Also how could exploit it if he couldn't touch it? I mean... he's he standing on the ground, at the very least?
